Hi,
I would highly suggest that you visit http://www.linuxprinting.org.
This website is an invaluable resource for almost anything related to
printing on GNU/Linux. It has a step-by-step procedure for configuring
CUPS as your printing system, and it also has a driver database for
lots of printers.
Hope this helps,
Malcolm
